    I have been eyeing this place for a while to check out because of all the great reviews that I've read, so decided to book a lunch meeting here. When we got there it was dead as a doornail on a weekday afternoon and from what I could tell the owner came to serve us herself. She was very polite and efficient. The place is small inside but cute. I got the impression that they probably do a much bigger take out business than a dining there business. I ordered green tea for my beverage. To my great surprise, it came in a can. Don't order this, ask for fresh tea. It tasted terrible. For lunch I ordered the tempura white fish bento box and miso soup. The miso soup was very tasty! The lunch bento was huge! I was actually surprised it was so big. I was initially concerned because I thought the lunch pricing was high but since a ton of food showed up, it ended up being cost effective. Although I did not order the sushi or sashimi, it looked fresh and my client said everything was good as well. All in all a good experience and I will happily go back to visit!

    Empty sushi bar and restaurant. Wouldn't seat me at the bar...

    Not very impressed. I was the only person in the place and they refused to seat me at the sushi bar. Ordered a variety of sashimi, cut in chunks rather than thinly sliced, and the only thing served cold and fresh was the yellowtail. Everything else was almost room temp and tasted slightly off. I won't be going back.

    We were just looking for a sushi spot in Clifton Park so we picked here off of reviews. When we walked in we didn't know what to expect, but we quickly knew we were about to have an amazing experience. The place is brand new, it was immaculate inside, stunning sushi bar with a chef who looked like he knew what he was doing. The menu is a lot to look through. It seemed extremely authentic and the place has no hint of "americanized" dishes. So many options, it was a great experience just looking through all the offerings. I love raw fish to the point that I want nothing to come in the way of it, so I opted for the sashimi and nigiri combo box. It sounded like it came with a lot, and it sure did. First was an impressive bowl of miso soup, chocked full of huge fresh seaweed, great depth of flavor, very good. Next was a house salad with the freshest ginger dressing. You could tell they made it from fresh ginger, the greens were so fresh too. Just the soup and salad really brought home the point that this place was real deal. Next they brought out delicious gyoza and tempura, so crispy, not even a hint of soggy, so fresh and deeply delicious. It was also all so light, followed by my beautiful plate of fresh sashimi and nigiri. The fish was so delicate, flavorful, fresh, I basically ran to compliment the chef, whom was on display working his magic. It took a loooonnngggg time to be served, but the time was appreciated and worth it for the immaculate plates we were served. Not a complaint in the air, it was perfect. Come here to appreciate the art of sushi and amazing cuisine, enjoy your time and come with friends to enjoy good conversation and excellent meals served at a slow place. I left impressed, and wanting more. Please come try our sushi here, I promise that you will not leave disappointed.

    very good good and very good service! i went on a tuesday night and we were the only people in the restaurant. the atmosphere was very quiet, the staff was very friendly. you start with miso soup (free). i'm not a soup girl but the person i was with had both bowls and said it was the best miso soup around. the fried chicken was SO good, and the general tso's sauce was as well. crispy but not hard to eat. i don't eat fish, but their vegetarian options were easy to find and extensive. as always, the sweet potato tempura roll was very good and the cucumber roll was the best cucumber roll i've ever had (it's hard to make something so simple so much better than others!). the inari was good and seasoned well. overall, a great experience, highly recommend.

    Only bottled beer available.

    It seems negligent that we should have waited almost three years to visit Modu since it opened. But in all honesty, from the outside there was nothing calling out to us to venture inside and try one of our favorite foods - sushi. Even tonight, as we entered through a vestibule, I would have had second thoughts about completing our entry had I not first looked at some of the photos on Yelp to ascertain what the dining environment was like. Inside, in front of a sushi bar with about five seats, are a mix of approximately a half-dozen, two- and four-top tables with low partitions, to help provide some privacy. Along a corridor to the back of the restaurant are maybe three booths. Everything is spotless everywhere. Modern pendant lighting fits nicely with the rest of the décor and provides a medium bright atmosphere. The menu provides a mix of both Korean and Japanese dishes. There are separate lunch and kids menus. In addition to the classic sushi rolls like California, spicy tuna, salmon avocado, .etc., and an assortment of thin rolls with the seaweed on the outside, there are hand rolls and over twenty Chef's Specialty Rolls. Starting with the two Japanese beers available from their bottles only selection, my wife chose the Sapporo while I chose the Asahi Dry ($4.50 each). We both agreed that the Asahi had more flavor. FWIW, both are brewed in Canada. For an appetizer we ordered Haemul Pajun ($12.95), a Korean seafood pancake with shrimp, calamari, and scallions made with wheat flour. If you're not overly hungry, this could be a meal in itself for one person. Served with a soy dipping sauce on the side, it had plenty of the seafood in the six pie-shaped slices. It was very hot when served but I still chose to pick up a slice as if I were eating pizza. It was very flavorful. I should mention that we were also served miso soup before our pancake arrived. It was a very good miso with soft cubes of tofu and very flavorful pieces of seaweed. Our sushi order consisted of: Nigiri - red snapper (Tai) $2.50; eel (Unagi) $2.95; mackerel (Saba) $2.50; white tuna $2.50; sea urchin (Uni) $3.50; and smoked salmon $2.95. I believe the chef added a couple complementary pieces of fatty tuna (Toro). Rolls - Spicy Girl ($12.95); Birthday ($12.95); and Modu ($8.50). All of the fish was very fresh. The nigiri had balls of rice that were actually a bit small for the portion of fish on top. While no wasabi was placed between the fish and the rice, there was plenty of wasabi and gari served on the side. The rolls had a wonderful mix of texture along with their flavors. Spicy Girl was a mix of white fish, jalapeño, spring mix and topped with spicy tuna, tempura flakes and a spicy sauce. It was not overly spicy at all, but the flavor of the jalapeño did come through nicely. The Birthday Roll consisted of tuna, avocado and cucumber topped with salmon, tobiko and avocado sauce. The Modu Roll used the pink soybean paper as its outer wrapper and seaweed as an inner wrapper to hold tuna, salmon, yellow tail, avocado, asparagus, and tobiko. This one had a lot of crunch with the asparagus and more great flavor and freshness. Service was excellent. It appears to be a family run business and everyone was friendly and efficient. Did I mention how clean the establishment is? Shame on us for not coming here sooner. I look forward to trying their main dishes.

    Sushi was fresh. The rolls were typical of a local sushi bar. I'll stop by again when I'm the area.

    I made a reservation online through Yelp! but it needed a modification. The restaurant was super…read moreresponsive and the reservation was perfect. They were amazing. We were a group of nine that included a few children. We went all out. The clear soup was good and flavorful. The salad was fresh and we loved the dressing. It wasn't the typical orange ginger but a light dressing. Delicious! I got the shrimp and scallop combo hibachi and I love that it comes with both rice and noodles. Lots of fresh vegetables. The scallops and shrimp were meaty and perfectly grilled. Others got steak cooked to their liking and some got salmon. Apps were edamame and a dragon roll and spicy tuna. I didn't try the apps but it was a fancy presentation. Everything was just so good. The service was impeccable. The chef was super engaging with everyone, including the littles. Hibachi is always fun and they are pros on fun. They handled our group with humor and the theatrics you've become accustomed to at hibachi dinner were on point. We went there on a Sunday, late afternoon, and it was amazing. I also got a fried ice cream for my birthday with fireworks! Thank you! The restaurant is big and can accommodate large parties. I want to go back soon! I do want to mention that the person that was paying for this birthday dinner didn't realize that gratuity was already added. They came back to give her the extra cash back that she had put in her payment. She was so grateful she still added a little extra!

    We went with a very large group and the staff was very accommodating. The food was very good and…read morethe staff was efficient and friendly. Good times!
